For some reason my mouth keeps filling with saliva about 5 hours after the extraction of my two upper wisdom teeth. anyone else has problems with that? I keep having to swallow and im afraid that will cause a dry socket or nock the blood clot out? They told me how painful it would be to get one and now they got me worried. Especially when its the weekend and they arent open on weekends. Anyways i guess the questions are if saliva build up from wisdom teeth removal is common and not just my imagination and if swallowing all the time is a problem to create a dry socket? How much pain should i feel tomorrow? none? cause the bigger wisdom tooth spot is tendor still. thanks and any responces is appreciated.

My dentist told me that would happen and not to swallow but to let the saliva "drool" out of my mouth into the sink.
Don't worry about the dry socket. The dentist just tells you about it because the symptoms of dry socket can also be confused with or connected to a jaw infection. Some people get dry socket even if they do EVERYTHING right. If you do get it, just buzz by the Dentist's office and they can fix you up with a simple treatment that works in less than 10 minutes. No biggie.
Don't use a straw, and have fun eating ice cream! Hope you feel better soon!

If you have problems with extra saliva in your mouth: Take a cotton swab and use it to swab out the saliva. "Dry Socket" is mostly caused by when people smoke, drink with straws, or suck on something such as candy, etc after their extraction. (I have had 3 dry sockets on separate occasions..and yes, extreme pain). But a dry socket will not be noticeable for at least 3 to 4 days after the extraction as it takes time for the blood to form a clot. As for the pain, did the extraction happen today? If so, then yes..you will have some discomfort but taking Tylenol or if your Dr. gave you pain pills will help with that. Take care and good luck:)

i'm no longer a dentist, yet I even have had each dental technique attainable. in case you had your understanding the teeth out on Friday, and on the instant is Wednesday, it is likely you will no longer have any issues. you're able to be over any discomfort. you have got had slightly tissue or dried blood left over, or it may be foodstuff that amassed in the region. in case you at the instant are not feeling any discomfort, and you haven't any longer have been given extreme bleeding, you're able to be high quality. hopefully, you acquire out all your understanding the teeth so which you will no longer could pass via this back.

dry socket is caused when you spit or use a straw.
